Product Description:

Power Steering Rack For Chevrolet Malibu MK8 13-

  1. First center the rack. This is done by removing the threaded plastic plug from the view port on the underside of the steering gear housing and turning the steering shaft until a red dimple in the rack gear is in alignment with the view port. (see photo No. 3)
  2. Once in alignment, thread a 10x1x35+/-mm bolt into the view port to lock the rack in the centered position. The bolt should have a smooth tapered end to engage the dimple. (fire up the grinder!)

     

    TIP
    Instead of fabricating a locking bolt with a tapered end, you may want to try inserting a ball bearing into the view port hole to engage the dimple and threading an unaltered bolt into the hole to lock the ball bearing in place.This tip is provided courtesy of John Smaardyk.

     

  3. With this accomplished, place the rack assembly into position on the passenger side of the car and finger tighten one of the passenger side mounting bolts. Allow the driver's side to hang down slightly.
  4. Next, reach in the window of the car and turn the steering wheel until it is straight. You may want to have and assistant hold the steering wheel straight for you. (my daughter did an excellent job!)
  5. At this point, the open side of the universal clamp should be in generally good alignment with the flat side of the steering gear shaft.
  6. Align the split in the clamp exactly in the center of the shaft flat. If you don't, the clamp bolt cannot be installed.
  7. With the steering column universal joint clamp positioned over the steering gear shaft, push the rack assembly up into position. The universal clamp will now slide down the steering gear shaft where it belongs.
  8. Install and hand tighten the upper driver's side mounting bolt. If the universal clamp did not side into position completely, use a small hammer and lightly tap it down until none of the flat is visible beneath the clamp. (believe it or not there is room to do this!)
  9. Install and tighten the clamp bolt. Install and finger tighten the remaining two mounting bolts.
  10. Getting the mounting bolts aligned and finger tightened is a bit of a chore but absolutely necessary to avoid cross threading the aluminum cross member.
  11. Tighten the rack mounting bolts to about 23 Nm (17 ft-lbs).
  12. Install the high pressure line mounting clamp and ground wire.
  13. Attach the high pressure line to the power steering pump using new bronze crush washers. (torque to 33 ft-lbs)
  14. Attach the return line to the rack housing using new bronze crush washers. (torque to 15 ft-lbs.)
  15. Use a plastic tie wrap to bundle the high pressure line and compensating line to the rack. The wrap should be placed at the same location as the rubber rack line spacer.
  16. Remove your custom centering bolt (if you used one), then replace and tighten the view port plastic plug.
  17. Connect the tie rods to the steering knuckles tightening the locking nuts to about 30 ft-lbs. You will need to apply sufficient pressure to the tie rod end ball joint shaft to prevent it from turning in the knuckle. I used the same small puller I took them apart with and a flat "cushion" plate on the bottom of the tie rod end.
  18. Install the fresh air tube and the driver's side sway bar mounting bracket.
  19. Next, install the sway bar. This must be done by connecting the ends first. The sway bar to control arm mounting bolts should be tightened to 18 ft-lbs.
  20. Then using a jack, raise the sway bar until the mounting clamps are in alignment with mounting brackets. Be sure both sides go into the proper position simultaneously. Install the clamp bolts and tightened to 17 ft-lbs.
